Sophia is a busy baker. We have worked on making cake pops. These are not easy to make but our second try went better than the first. We are getting there. Sophia also made stuff for the adult in-house show. We made peppermint bark, horse treats and strawberry pie.
The April show was a success. Sophia had to compete in a English Pleasure class because we lease Navajo. There were three girls in the walk/trot class with her. The canter and combo class she was alone. Needless to say she took first place in all three of those classes! She competed in short stirrup with many other kids. She took home a 5th in walk/trot, 4th in canter and 6th in jumping. We are hoping she will do a jump class in the jumper division next show. The jumping she does here is all hunter-judged on equitation rather than time and faults.
Sophia was in the April Dressage show. She did Intro A and B test. The plan was to do the B test at the end of the series but she was ready and did fantastic. She took first place in both of those classes. Angel is an awesome coach and Eli a great partner.
Linda, Chuck and the girls came down for their Easter visit. It was fun. We went to the inner harbor one day. We also dyed eggs, visited puppies, played at Dave and Busters and had an egg hunt. We went out for a great Easter brunch before they had to head home.
I was able to catch up with Andrea on her short visit here. We had our favorite dinner and dessert together. What fun.
Sophia was able to throw a pie in Mr. Q's face because she was the top fundraiser in the 5th grade during their Jumprope for Heart event. He was a great sport.
Our pets are enjoying the warmer weather and sun shine.
